Well, they all can't be the best season, right?
Sam and Dean went on a journey this year, one that stripped them of many of the familiar parts of the show we've come to enjoy (Bobby, Castiel, the Impala) in an effort to have them rely more on each other in the face of... Leviathans. Who are the Leviathans? Who cares, they got destroyed and we are moving on.
Really, you start with some pretty good episodes of Castiel going "God" on everyone and then dump the Leviathans in his place. It felt as though the writers (again) could not figure out a good way of making what amounted to the culmination of all of season six mean anything, and quickly wrote it all off by the second episode. I love Supernatural when it is at it's "Monster of the Week" best, but the Leviathan threat held no real danger even though it took a lot from the boys.
The first five seaons were a little disjointed and all over the place, but they were all leading to Armageddon. Season six made some real head room dealing with the aftermath of the failed end of the world, but like I said this season ginded all of that to a halt.
What we were left with was the promise of some pretty cool stuff for next season, if the writers don't magic Dean and Castiel right out of Purgatory and never speak of it again after the first episode.
